Vocals are perfect

I don‘t really like the drum sound though.

perhaps from the perspective of a Leprous stan that may be so

but as an avid MA stan they are an abominable take

I guess Einar’s voice can be a turn off for some.
Live this blew me away, but I‘m not sure how often I’ll come back to the studio version.

All this does is allow me to better recognize how impeccable the production and atmosphere on the original was.

One of the better covers I've heard of this song but when will people learn that this is a song that simply should not be covered in the studio

This seems like it might have been hastily recorded and mixed. I can see how it would sound great live though.

Was great live, but overall it's a bit too boring for my taste.
